30 Minutes Per Day
Burda 4/09 #101 - Red Pique Skirt
I did finish the skirt yesterday, although I did take a little longer than 30 minutes to do so. I was so close to finishing that I decided to just get it done. Here's how I wore it to school today:
Not terribly exciting, but works well with a white blouse, black shoes and black and white jewelry.
I made this pretty much as the pattern indicated except that I made the facings as wide as the inset panel at center front, rather than narrower as drafted. Oh, and those alterations, too, but that wasn't necessarily a style change!
Today I was *supposed* to cut out the yellow and white striped vintage blouse. I got as far as ironing the pieces and discovered one was missing. Sigh. I'll tell you about that tomorrow.
Parting Shot: Hanging Out. Wellie doesn't often sit with someone or just hang out like this. He's not a lap cat, so in a rare moment of him actually sitting near my husband, I had to take a picture.

Very smart! And it makes your waist look tiny:)
Oh, I love it! The fit is perfect.
THis is a really pretty skirt. I made a red skirt recently and I am surprised by how much wear it gets and how many things go with it.
I LOVE the skirt!!!! You look terrific!
Wellie does seem to have picked your husband as his lap buddy!
It's a very pretty outfit and the skirt fits you perfectly.
Perfect! Great fit and flattering style!
Love this red skirt. It is very flattering and makes a great hourglass with your crisp white blouse. Nice shoes, too!
What a pretty skirt for spring! Great color. It'd look yummy with a camel or tan cardigan, too... I love camel and red together...
What a great classic skirt, in a eye catching colour - beautiful!
Lovely - your outfit looks very fresh!

Pretty skirt. I've always had cats that were too much lap cats. I couldn't sit down without a cat cuddling up on my lap. As nice as that was, it can get a little annoying too.
I love red skirts. Best colour for skirts, I think. And it looks lovely on you!
You look very smart.
